Show Notes
Justin Timberlake said it best, "It's gotta be May!"
It's the first of May, and not only is May Day a traditional communist "holiday", but it's also a signal of someone or some thing in distress. Like America.
Andrew and Jerry break down what's going on on America's college campuses, talking about the origins of these crises, who is behind them in terms of their funding and coordination, and just what the future holds. How the efforts to blame Trump for these crises ultimately underscore the role that Never Trumpers and those with Trump Derangement Syndrome have played in their eruption. The double standards of the elite, and how a "rules for thee but not for me" mentality runs through the protests. The element of LARPing (Live Action Roleplaying) that seems to also be an undercurrent, as Gen Zers take cues from Gen Xers who want to live up to their academic mentors' 1960s experiences. Not just double standards for the elite, but how the Biden Administration's law enforcement apparatus seems focused on conservative "threats", but seems to be missing what's happening on these campuses and elsewhere.
Then it's the Trump trials, and the legitimacy of handcuffind Donald Trump to a courtroom chair. What this means for election 2024 - whether Biden will be the candidate, whether there will be a Trump/Biden debate, and what effect will RFK, Jr. actually have on the race. What do the current polls mean - and what could shift them between now and November.
Plus, a discussion of the economy, a new report on regulatory costs from the American Action Forum, and the contrasted record on regulations between Obama, Trump and Biden.
